A Sandwich a Day: Kafta Kebab at Duzan

In this great city of ours, one could eat a different sandwich every day of the year—so that's what we'll do. Here's A Sandwich a Day, our daily look at sandwiches around New York. Got a sandwich we should check out? Let us know.—The Mgmt.

Though I'd recommend the chicken shawarma to first-time visitors at Duzan, the ground lamb Kafta pita ($5.75) is definitely worth an order for those whose tastes veer more towards red meat. Where the chicken is bright with coriander, the lamb is deeply charred on the grill. It's warming, cumin-heavy, and juicy enough to keep you coming back for more. Add in Duzan's fresh, poofy pita—some of the best in the borough—and you have the makings of a fine lamb-y lunch indeed.

As a native of Queens, New York, Max developed an early hunger for dosas, dumplings, and Korean barbecue. Now he explores the city's evolving international food world by day and night. When not slurping noodles over a rickety table, he's in the kitchen tinkering with his ice cream maker on a never-ending quest to develop the best ice cream-making techniques.
